Hobby Review : Banpresto World Collectable Figure MEGA vol.3 Edward "Shirohige" Newgate




Massive & Super Cool !!
Perhaps because Whitebeard is one of my favorite hero character, it looks awesome. The detail was really stunning.













    3rd edition of this product is really difficult to miss out. This one kind of Whitebeard figure will be super COOL like this. Maybe in terms of coloring and similarity with the original manga artwork of Oda Eiichiro makes this a great piece of figure. The sculptor is do a well job, was really great to transform the figure of WCF MEGA that comes of so steady. Despite all of P.O.P (Portrait of Pirates) is the "Official" line recognized by Oda himself (which follows the manga SBS OP should ever read), I think this WCF has a higher percentage, leaving the comparation of the size of the figure. Maybe someone that has both P.O.P Whitebeard and WCF MEGA Whitebeard could be better to comparing the quality of similarity aspect of the character.





Box content is separated into 4 sections (5 if plus base), that figure Whitebeard intact, robes, pole stick and machetes of the spears. The main point of my attention is on the head sculpt of Whitebeard, it was really feels leadership and power of a Whitebeard. This figure is similar with the manga (if compared with the anime, it is difficult, because the anime series was a decline in the quality of the manga. I am a student of animation and know the challenge is to create animation so much, and graphic level of Oda is so nice but so difficult to have a level equivalent). Try your own look and value.

Cool right? Although there are no joints like WCF MEGA predecessor (it is reasonable), the mustache has a some special texture. Detail of the rough muscles, facial age, cloth line, can be seen by yourself in this picture below.

A cons here is little miss paint in the form of white dots inside the cloak. Fortunately, it covered if applied to the figure.For those who have several hundred thousand rupiah, and fans of the Whitebeard Pirates, buy it, you won't disappointed.This is additional, for the love, please download and make wallpaper for your device.

Story :

Movie starts when a pirate is reading a narration of story of the Bikini Bottom, when the
SpongeBob and his normal activity in Bikini Bottom. SpongeBob and Plankton fight for Krabby Patty's Recipe. Until one little thing happened : The recipe is suddenly vanished in their eyes. Mister Krab found both of them while the recipe is lost. It brings some, no, big problem in Bikini Bottom. It led to riot age, because people can't eat krabby patty. All people looking for SpongeBob and Plankton as a villain. SpongeBob and Plankton discuss at the border of town, they must find it to save Bikini Bottom. They go to Sandy's House, and they find a big paper that led to the decision of their time machine. Thanks to Plankton and his equipment (and his computer's wife), and of course help from SpongeBob, the time machine has been made. They decide to go to the time before it is going disappear. But, SpongeBob make mistake by taking a fake formula that Past-time Plankton made for tricking Past-time SpongeBob. After the mistake and time machine has been lost (thanks to Patrick), it is going to more complicated, and Plankton runs away. SpongeBob has been captured. But, he insist that the formula recipe must be somewhere else, and he himself smells krabby patty from somewhere. Mister Krab release him and everyone else following SpongeBob. He led to out of water. They discuss about them that can't go out from water, until the Bubbles, a support character which shaped as a dolphin that met Sponge and Plankton when they travelling the time, help the main character (SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward, Mister Krab, Sandy, Plankton) to available to breath out of water.
The main antagonist in the movie, Burger Beard (roled by Antonio Banderas), a pirate who in the beginning, steal the recipe by erasing a part story of Bikini Bottom's Magic Book, founded by protagonist after they transformed into like-superhero power by the power of paper from the Magic Book. SpongeBob write for the power that they can have for fight against Burger Beard. Battle of protagonist against Burger Beard came into action scene that happened for a long time, and all of them overwhelmed against Burger Beard, until Plankton comes help and success to got the formula recipe.



Opinion :

It is always fun to see SpongeBob's story because of their personality, the joke of their foolishness, Patrick. It keeps make smiles for a couple times following the story. One of the uniqueness from this movie is the Nickelodeon and team make it 3D animatic movie for the following story in the movie. The 3D character for each character is represented really well as a SpongeBob and friends, without forget the style of the cartoon itself. I think it is quite great execution from this movie, i really love the render result. After this movie, i think we will see the tv series that using the 3D style character of SpongeBob, maybe. Then, from this movie we could know how the sponge bob TV series starts from. I think it is good idea from the script writer. For a 90 minutes of movie, it is fun to watched this one with your friends or family, it stills entertain though.
